Book Club: Atlas Girl

Do you feel like you have no voice? Do you struggle with feeling invisible, unseen, in this world of Facebook and Instagram and YouTube fame? Do you wonder what your purpose is, and where God is–and whether or not He even hears you?

If so, join us for the #AtlasGirlBookClub, based off Emily Wierenga’s memoir, Atlas Girl: Finding Home in the Last Place I Thought to Look (www.atlasgirlbook.com), starting November 3rd and running for six weeks. We’ll be journeying through the chapters and into the heart of your heavenly father.

Just subscribe to Emily’s blog, HERE, or “like” her page on FB here and you’ll be able to follow along with the discussion we have during the week, both here, and on the FB page. She will also be posting past sessions/posts down HERE for any of you who miss them and want to tag along.

Together we’ll find the grace we’ve always longed for, the home we never knew, the love we didn’t think we deserved. Over 6 weeks we’ll cover 6 topics from Atlas Girl, including VOICE, HOME, FATHER, MOTHER, GRIEF and LOVE.

This book club will include very special, intimate videos from each of Emily’s family members, voicing their thoughts on the topics, as well as from the author herself. It will include practical ways to both work through the topic and a link-up each week for you to share YOUR thoughts with others.

Looking forward to journeying with you friends, into the heart of God!

I have followed Emily for quite some time now … and am so looking forward to getting to know you, Jo Ann. While I have weathered the tumultuous storms of this world, and believe that He has more on the horizon for me … I also believe that He has used me in a defining and refining way to speak about His purpose and His desire to be first in our lives. While I have touched the lives of those I knew nothing about, I have also come in contact with those in our church’s youth, Kairos Prison Ministry, and women touched by my Facebook ministry. It is while we believe that we are invisible, that He shines His light the brightest for others to see through us by His grace. We are never able to do it alone, but through Him, we can accomplish great and mighty things through a powerful and awesome God. Blessings to both of you sisters. May He continue to touch your lives in powerful and meaning ways in all of your endeavors.

I Love you and Emily a Bunch, and I so want to do this in my heart, but I am truly making strides with my first book, so I will have to pass this time. I do hope you have this again later. If I take on another task then my book, I fear, will not be finished. Please pray for me as I continue healing from surgery that I can hear God very intimately as I write a little bit every day. Hugs my friends XO <3 Dolores

This book had a powerful impact on a shift in my writing journey and I am so looking forward to delving further into each topic with you all. Emily is such a gifted writer whose story truly flows from the Spirit.

Testimonials

Jo Ann, you are an inspiration! Thank you for your kindness and for the very real security I felt in your workshop. That is so very important. Your workshops are so valuable to those of us who have a difficult time expressing our feelings. Being able to journal through this is a wonderful way to express those emotions and deepest secrets. Thank you for the tools, information, and security to do this.
